  • 200 g dried pitted dates roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200C, gas mark 6. Grease and line a 20cm square baking tin with parchment.
  • Heat the milk and protein powder in a small saucepan to just below boiling, remove from the heat and add the dates, leave to soak for 5 minutes.
  • Place the dates and any liquid a food processor and pulse to give a coarse paste. Crumble in the wheat biscuits and add the Walnuts, egg and cinnamon and pulse again to give a coarse texture.
